Four things to say to a friend after a bad breakup
Re-blogged from A Cup of Jo:
1. Say two little words. When your heartbroken friend is talking about her worries, she’s probably also wondering if she’s annoying you.

Imaging USA
My postings here have slowed down and you may be wondering why - well, it is because I was in New Orleans for a trade show! I represented Zenfolio at Imaging USA, a popular photography convention held annually.

So you might have outgrown the all American cheddar melted with half a stick of butter on sourdough, but that doesn’t mean to give up on this traditional wonder.
